A Landmark Family Event
for Logan City
Helping Children Grow Through Values
They Can Understand
Magic Forest Group is seeking major philanthropic, corporate, civic and community support to deliver the K.I.D.S. in Logan Extravaganza — a full-day family festival planned for 20 September 2026 at the Kingston Butter Factory in Logan City.
The event is designed to bring together children, families, schools, early childhood centres, cultural groups, local organisations, businesses and community partners through joy, creativity, live entertainment and shared values.
At the heart of the event is the K.I.D.S. Program:
Kindness — helping children learn care, empathy and friendship.
Inclusion — helping every child feel welcome, seen and valued.
Dignity — helping children respect themselves and others.
Safety — helping children understand safe choices, safe people and safe places.
Through Humphrey B. Bear and his Magic Forest Friends and collaborators - including other celebrities, experts and leaders - this initiative has the potential to deliver a positive values-led message in a way that is warm, trusted, memorable and accessible for young children and families.
Why This Matters
Children need more than entertainment.
They need connection.
They need belonging.
They need trusted messages.
They need positive shared experiences.
They need values they can understand and carry with them.
The early years are a powerful window for shaping how children understand kindness, inclusion, respect, safety, family, friendship and community.
The K.I.D.S. in Logan Extravaganza is designed as a joyful early-intervention community experience — one that uses storytelling, music, play, creativity and live performance to help children engage with values that matter.
This is prevention, not remediation.
It is about giving children and families a positive, memorable and shared experience that strengthens community connection and helps create a safer, kinder and more inclusive future.
Building Safer Futures Starts Here
Logan City is one of Australia’s most culturally diverse communities, making it a powerful place to launch a family festival built around inclusion, belonging and shared values.
The Logan event is designed as an international-themed community celebration, featuring live entertainment, cultural participation, food, music, games, workshops, family activities and live Humphrey B. Bear experiences. The event is also positioned as a pilot model that can grow into other communities over time.
By launching in Logan, Magic Forest Group has the opportunity to celebrate a vibrant local community while building a scalable model for future K.I.D.S. events across Queensland and Australia.
